I try to sort everything by alphabet And probably the most difficult to find from that bunch. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two off the stands, one to read and disassemble (if you read the comic you understand my reference but may not understand the actual comic. WHEW!) and one to keep. A neglected title and imprint. No love where much should be given.

And I'm 100% jealous of people who pull copies of #32 (or 1, or 31, for that matter) from unsuspecting dollar bins. Needless to say, that book is worth a lot more than a buck. littledoom, JTLarsen and JJ-4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems crazy that folks dont take a few minutes to go online and see what they are worth before all but giving them away. The flea markets I go to...the sellers seem to know whats what. My flea market experiences usually seem to fit loosely into three categories. 1 - the seller who bought a bunch of comic books in bulk and just wants to move inventory. I was at a recurring flea market we have in our town last year, and a guy had a few longboxes and some books on the table; nothing had marked prices. Saw a probably VF Dark Knight Returns 1 on the table and asked how much. He said "it's only the first part, I don't have the rest, sorry. How about $2?" I have no clue how he knew it was a miniseries but didn't know the value, turned out to be a first print too. I ended up buying a stack of books for around $65. These sellers usually have unsorted boxes - my favorite because it's like a treasure hunt - and they'll just throw out random prices. 2 - the seller who knows a little about some stuff but doesn't seem to care. Same flea market, different day, different seller. Guy had a couple of shortboxes marked "$2/comic" and a few books on a table, all marked. One of the table books was a beat up Crisis on Infinite Earths 8 - he had a post-it note on the bag that said "Death of the Flash - $30." But in the boxes, I found a lot of drek of course, but then I found Thor 338 and 339 for $2 each. These sellers are ok; you can find some cool stuff sometimes if you look hard enough. 3 - the seller who thinks old comic book equals big bucks. These are the people who usually have 10-15 random books in their booth, and they want $40 for Whitman Disney comics. I always look just in case, but I try to avoid these sellers like the plague. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post littledoom Posted March 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2022 These were at a yard sale for $1 each from the original owner. About 20 shortboxes were laid on the driveway. I ended up leaving with 6 shortboxes for $550. I bought many full runs.
